The story of how the starfish got its arms reminds us that even animals that might be familiar to us today can have incredibly deep histories - ones that stretch back almost half a billion years.
Thanks to Franz Anthony for the incredible Echinoderm illustrations featured throughout this episode: franzanth.com/ And thanks to Dr. Sarah Sheffield, Dr. Imran Rahman, and Dr. Aaron Hunter for advising on the artwork.

Yes... Earth's environments change constantly due to plate tectonics... the very slow movement of crustal plates driven by the internal heat engine of the inner Earth cause seas to shoal, to deepen, to change salinity, to dry up, etc. Of course, it takes a very long time.... Geologic Time.... to do these things.

The fact that their larva are bilaterally symmetrical and they become adults by one half splitting into 5 parts while the other just drops away, wow.

@Xnaut314 2 года назад

One very obscure fact about echinoderms and similarly related genera is that their early cellular development from fertilized zygote to blastula is deuterostome rather than protostome, where the first few cellular divisions remain fully undifferentiated genetically rather than predetermined based on their orientation to other cells. To explain it simply, if you removed one cell from a protostome body when it's only fours cells big the two new bodies won't form properly and will die since both are already developmentally incomplete, but a deuterostome that is separated at the same time will develop into two fully normal genetic clones of each other. That's how we know that echinoderms and chordates like all vertebrates are more closely related to each other than all other animals, but it's also strange that protostomes have a vastly greater biodiversity of species overall, including genera like arthropods, molluscs, and the multitude of worm groups. Deuterostomes on the other hand, while much more limited in the total number of species seem to have a greater proportion of their species that are relatively large-bodied, weighing at least one kilogram while the vast majority of protostome species weigh less than that. Why that dymanic exists, both genetically and morphologically, and why the biosphere of the tree of life is oriented as it is a complete mystery to biology and has always fascinated me despite the fact that practically no one ever talks about it.

@absalomdraconis 2 года назад

The early differentiation probably either causes fragility to interfertility (faster speciation), or simplifies organization (somewhat akin to what distinguishes our branch from bacteria & archaea in the first place).

Whenever I’m reading or watching something about Echinoderms, it always boggles my mind that they are by far the largest Phylum with absolutely no _freshwater_ members! I’ve always wondered how or why it is so, almost every other major Phyla has evolved either freshwater and/or terrestrial forms independently, and often multiple times and back into both aquatic and/or marine forms. There’s obvious reasons as to why we never got terrestrial _sponges or cnidarians,_ but that didn’t really stopped mollusks from trying time and time again, but how hard could’ve been for Echinoderms to evolve into freshwater? Maybe something about their hydrostatic inner skeletons or something? We’ll never know for sure…

@drsharkboy6568 2 года назад

Maybe their tube feet can’t support their weight very well on land?

@l.mcmanus3983 2 года назад

Perhaps it has to do with things necessary to their anatomy, or maybe it’s just that they found their own little niche and flourish in it well enough to never feel the pressure to evolve for life not in the ocean.

@joshuahadams Год назад

The Elder things are _old_ and likely the source of life on earth. According to “At the Mountains of Madness” the came to Earth from the stars nearly a billion years ago, after the formation of the moon and oceans. “The persistence with which the Old Ones survived various geologic changes and convulsions of the earth’s crust was little short of miraculous. Though few or none of their first cities seem to have remained beyond the Archaean age, there was no interruption in their civilisation or in the transmission of their records. Their original place of advent to the planet was the Antarctic Ocean, and it is likely that they came not long after the matter forming the moon was wrenched from the neighbouring South Pacific. According to one of the sculptured maps, the whole globe was then under water, with stone cities scattered farther and farther from the antarctic as aeons passed. Another map shews a vast bulk of dry land around the south pole, where it is evident that some of the beings made experimental settlements though their main centres were transferred to the nearest sea-bottom. Later maps, which display this land mass as cracking and drifting, and sending certain detached parts northward, uphold in a striking way the theories of continental drift lately advanced by Taylor, Wegener, and Joly.” - ‘At the Mountains of Madness’, ch.7

The tide was very low and a bunch of starfish were tangled in seaweed in the shallow water. I took a sick and spent about an hour fishing up about 20 of them to save them. I walked to the end of the dock and dropped them in the deeper water. Some of them landed upside down and fish started to nipp on them, so for every starfish I dropped I also stood there with the stick scaring the fish away until the starfish could flip back over. I couldn't save all the tangled ones since many of them were too far away to reach, but I did my best. The ones that had already died I took with me home and dried them for decoration.

The starfishes survived the great dying and the extinction of dinosaurs. I hope they survive the humans too.

Thanks Eons, loved this episode. I've always been intrigued about bilateral and radial symmetry since reading 'The Mystery of Metamorphosis'. I'd love it if you could do an episode looking at what has always been a head-scratcher for me and that's how are adult sea squirts radially symmetrical but their larval form at bilaterally symmetrical?! I've heard various theories, including one of hybridisation during the Cambrian but if you could shed any more light on this peculiarity I can finally put my mind to rest!

I came to learn about radial symmetry in starfish and walked away with the knowledge that feather stars exist (man those look neat!) and the best joke that has ever been featured on this channel haha

Thanks for clearing up Patrick's lineage.

How do I never think about things like starfish once didn't have arms

Since one side of the body got absorbed and the other side became radially symmetrical, it means that they turned on the side first before flipping around?

Perhaps the other side develops into the stalk of sea lillies?
